Within walking distance of downtown
This is a nice hotel within walking distance of downtown. It was not fancy but it was very clean and the staff was friendly. The shower head placement was a little off, especially for short people, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Room was tiny, but was not bad for a one night stay. We were on a ground floor and the people above us were heavy walkers. Sounded like they were moving furniture around 😬

Had car trouble. Never got to the hotel. I called to cancel the reservation. Spoke with the desk person. They refused to refund any of the money when I asked AND the next day when Expedia asked. I know this was a non-refundable room, but I was hoping for some understanding. I would have felt a bit better about even a partial refund. I cannot recommend this hotel. They’d rather take money for doing nothing than have a human conversation about circumstances.
